结婚率

(ji9h$n l_)

A: I just heard that China’s marriage rate has dropped, so today I went and encouraged my son to go on a blind date.

我刚听说现在中国结婚率逐年降低，今天我就赶紧催着我儿子相亲去了。

B: Going on a blind date at such a young

age? Your son just graduated college. Is it really a good idea to get married so soon?

这么早就相亲了？你儿子才大学毕业啊，这么早结婚真的好吗？

A: You don’t know how fierce social competition is today. If he doesn’t take advantage of opportunities now, he will soon be left behind.

你不知道现在社会竞争多激烈，如果没有抢到先机，很快就会被剩下了。

B: I think you should just let him choose how he wants to live his life.

我认为还是应该让他自己自由选择生活方式。
